The Harmony House Inn is an 8,000 square foot, two-story home located in the heart of the historic district of New Bern, North Carolina. Four blocks from the historic Tryon Palace and one block from the New Bern Riverfront Convention Center. This totally restored historic property has been a successful Bed and Breakfast since 1985. The inn offers a beautifully appointed living room for guests to gather. The Living Room has plenty of space for relaxing and reading a book or enjoying stimulating conversation with other guests while beautiful music is playing in the background. Our Breakfast Room, located next to the Living Room, is decorated in a Colonial style and features a set of plates over the buffet which were originally part of the Ellis family's dining set. We like to describe our innkeeping style as one of comfort, warmth, and informality. While we try to make sure that each guest is comfortable at the inn, we also try to be as unobtrusive as possible for our guests who wish to have quiet time alone.

All guest rooms have the same first-class amenities: Remote Controlled Color TV with cable, private telephones, two comfortable sitting chairs and a dresser and closet. All rooms have ceiling fans with lights. All bathrooms are located in the room or suite. Free Wireless Internet Access from all guest rooms!

Harmony House is furnished with family photos, locally handcrafted furniture, and antiques, including an 1875 pump organ. The soft pastel colors of the walls set off the canopy beds and colorful comforters. Sooki's needlepoint flowers and "HH"-crocheted coasters give the house a personal touch. This unusually spacious house has seven guest rooms and three suites. All of these lovely appointed spacious rooms are filled with antiques, some reproductions done by local craft persons and historic memorabilia. Each room, decorated by Sooki Kirkpatrick, exudes warmth, charm and individual character. All rooms are furnished with full modern private baths, ceiling fans, central A/C, king, queen (some with canopies) and twin beds, cable television, telephones and decorative fireplaces.

Enjoy rest and relaxation on the grand porch with rocking chairs and swings overlooking the picturesque tree lined street. In the parlor every evening you are cordially invited to join Ed and Sooki for a complimentary social hour where wine, cheese, and soft drinks are offered along with the friendly conversation, warmth and hospitality that keeps you wanting to come back time and time again.

In the morning you awaken to tantalizing aromas from the kitchen. Breakfast is a time for socializing in the dining room, where the Kirkpatricks lay out a different hot dish on the Empire sideboard each day: baked stuffed French toast; apple, bacon and cheddar quiche; or cheese strata, plus fruit, homemade granola, and homemade coffee cake. There's also juice, fresh ground coffee and an assortment of teas.

The Harmony House Inn is conveniently located within walking distance to quaint shops, fine dining restaurants, many historic sites, highlighted by Tryon Palace and its formal gardens.

The Kirkpatricks have brochures on local attractions and restaurants; many are within walking distance. Ed has also mapped out suggested bike routes for visitors. The inn has long been a favorite overnight stop for bike tours from all over the country.

A Gift Certificate from the Harmony House Inn makes a perfect gift. We personalize each certificate with the names of the gift givers and recipients. The certificate may then be used up to a year from the date of purchase. Please call for more information.
